This is how working people should be represented overall and everywhere
... and no, I'm not talking about a socialist or communist hellscape where society is governed or managed by an powerful manager class - that crap just reeks of the current system we have now in the capitalist system.
We just need a balance in society ... let all the rich people get their rocks off and try to make as much money as possible but place them in a limited box of wealth, if they make 100 million dollars, they get a plaque that says 'you won capitalism' and they are now forced to retire and go live on their wealth ... meanwhile, every working person is given a decent wage, any excess profit is spent on worker benefits and supports, safety, education, health care, childcare and vacation time.
We can't keep maintaining this insane system of businesses and companies that use the labour of individual people, paying the worker as little as possible while giving away the excess profits of that work to people who have not contributed to any of the work other than to claim some kind of ownership or entitlement to the business or company.
Why?
What about learning what a socialist society would actually be and ignoring capitalist & soviet propoganda that conflated the USSR/CCP with socialism.
How about a society in which workers control their workplaces via unions and cooperatives? That's what a socialist society would actually be.
So.... Socialism then
